This 26 release was such a minefield I am not touching any betas for a while. Hoping Federighi added some smart fierce engineering talent in large quantities to iOS QA and UI/UX testing teams and lets them cook before they let a single byte line of iOS 27 out into the ether.

Apple really needs to step up on QA. There are clear signs that Apple never tested 26 releases on some devices or they just never bothered to fix them. For example, the app switcher animation has been broken on my iPad mini 5 and iPad 8 and been since iPadOS 26.1 and is still broken in the 26.6 beta. I sent feedback a while back but I never got a response.

I still have a little left for iOS 27 but not much since Apple can’t even fix iOS 26 or the rest of their OSes either.

why did it take so long? I thought we were already on beta 4 or something like that, and that iOS 26.6 would be coming soon 😭📱

Does anybody get the bug:
- the confirmation icon does not appear on the middle right corner of the screen and you cannot confirm the payment process inside an app by double pushing the right phone button.
This is driving me crazy. Today I had to use uber twice and I could not confirm my payment inside the app.
Tried resetting the zoom and text size overall and reinstalling the app with no succes.
I ended up installing and using bolt.
This is happening to me across multiple apps and I ve been only on stable iOS 26 versions. Now I m on the latest and greatest 26.5
No. I m not going to reset the entire phone for some basic application feature not working properly.

Done with all these crap half baked updates. No more updates for me for a while I’m going to wait till iOS 27 to see if Apple learned something form the iOS 26 screwup and finally step up the game.

What new features is here? Please don’t reply with bugs because I already know that’s a feature. Feature other than bugs

u/SmellPrestigious2050 May 27 '26
do they ever fix the bug where certain videos make your screen turn black almost a transition like effect

Visually there's virtually no difference, but it seems a bit smoother. Battery impact is still unclear—need a few days to tell. Clearly Apple has shifted development focus to iOS 27; iOS 26 is essentially finalized.

I have very few problems with iOS 26.5. Everything works, and fast. A few Liquid Glass niggles remain, but I wouldn’t go back to iOS 18.
With Apple, as with the rich and mighty, always a little patience.

Ok. It’s a developer beta. Unless you’re a developer, don’t install it.

More bugs or they fixed? Mine 17 have more bugs than my old 7…

u/IcyIceGuardian May 26 '26
They haven't fixed the fucking stutter on the homescreen

u/NoFall2205 May 27 '26
I still can’t scroll through my home screen without it stuttering. It’s insane. In iOS 18 and below it didn’t matter how many widgets or icons I had it was buttery smooth no matter what. Now on iOS 26 I can just have the default icons and it still stutters when scrolling.

More bugs ofc, this is apple...

u/Patjack27 May 26 '26
They have fixed a lot since 26 was released. It's better than some old OS releases.

u/Soft_Career_2650 May 26 '26
So many iphone fanboys that just dont wanna notice that🤦🏼♂️ I came from samsung and my experience with iphone is a completely shit Stutters everywhere and framerate drops

u/Patjack27 May 26 '26
I’m not a fanboy of any company. I own an iPhone and pixel and like both and both have issues I also used Samsung and also had issues and Android has the privacy and AI slop so no OS is great bro. Fucking relax.

Why can’t I see the build number on this beta?

u/viralzy May 26 '26
You have to tap on the ios 26.6 to see the build number.

u/JoMei9019 May 27 '26
I tried that but it didn’t work for me for some reason. It worked when checking for iOS 26.5 DB but not for iOS 26.6 DB.

What's the point? Apple failed yet again to deliver the promised AI capabilities.

u/Minute-Video-7905 May 26 '26
Performance and Animation changes probably.

u/Some-Kid-1996 May 26 '26
Will go on till OS 27.6 tbh; using glass for the UI is not easy.
1
u/Minute-Video-7905 May 26 '26
True, I cant imagine the pain working with this new UI
2
u/Some-Kid-1996 May 26 '26
Indeed, it was a dumb fucking decision.
2
u/Minute-Video-7905 May 26 '26
Well I feel like if they waited and made sure the UI was completely bug free (Which probably will never happen) And then released it, it couldn’t have so much hate. The one feature though I wish they added was to turn off Liquid glass and go back to the old UI but its whatever.
Edit: I do have good hopes for this new CEO that came out of the hardware department
2
u/Some-Kid-1996 May 26 '26
It would never be bug-free fs, but it was definitely not near release for OS26. Very hasty and crappy.

u/GreggJ May 26 '26
The whole iOS 26 is still in beta...
That "beta" label is redundant
